Concept:
Well, the complete story is that it is for a girl that I like.
She just quit with her boyfriend, and well, I have always liked her.
I was at messenger, and she told me she felt sad, etc.
So I came up with this idea.

I asked her first what was her favorite color.
I knew from before that she liked everything related to the sky.
So well, I picture her as a ballon with a patch.
To represent the problems around her, I put the dark clouds.
I positioned the stars, since I remembered from long ago she liked a poem about stars.
I wasn't able to remember that poem, so I came up with the idea of making my own.
I then sent her the link of the finished pic.

She loved the image, and I'll go out with her the next week.
I guess it worked better than I expected.

Technical:
Stars, brightness/contrast tweaked in Photoshop.
Rendered in Lightwave 3D 8.5
2 lights used using FPrime with some bounces.
About 5 hours of work

Hehe! I'm glad to hear it worked out for you!

I love the idea and it came out really good.
Great atmosphere, and you got the poem arranged nicely with the picture

I really like the way you presented it.

gfx.KhronoS · 15-10-2006, 10:52 AM

I love it, especially the meaning which come out of the poem.

P.S. Btw, it worked on me, i was feeling sad right now.. and made me a little happy

Cesar Montero · 15-10-2006, 11:19 AM

Phantom.cz: Thank you very much!

X_Dror: Thank you, I spent some good time trying to find out how to put both together. I'm pleased to see you liked the result

usmanghiyas: I'll have to put more emotions like this into my work, its one of the images that have given me the most satisfaction. Thank you!

gfx.KhronoS: That is the best complement I ever had of my entire work! Knowing that the image was able to cheer up someone for a while, is the best thing I ever made with my renders. Thank you very much!

Freespace-3DT · 16-10-2006, 02:15 AM

I think that's a very sweet thing to do, man. The way you remeber so many things about her means you care and actually listen to her ( that's rare these days ), and you've inspired me to do the same for my girl. I wish you the best of luck, and remember, let her come 10% for that first kiss.

TheCheshireCat · 16-10-2006, 05:48 AM

Girls do so love this love stuff ;}P
Nice work

Kage · 16-10-2006, 04:52 PM
